The People's Forum: Re: First impressions of “Club View”

I'm in Club View, but I couldn't go on Saturday so I haven't sat in my season ticket seat yet.

I was in the first wave of people eligible to pick new seats, and my feeling was that this was likely to be the best opportunity I'd ever have of sitting on the halfway line, so I decided to treat myself.

I hope, and expect, that the club will address any teething problems, but I was prepared to pay the ticket cost for the view alone, so anything on the concourse will be a bonus.

Anyone else sat here?

Got to see where our season tickets are on Saturday. Pretty much halfway line, amazing view in my opinion.

The actual concourse facility has got a lot of stick online from what I’ve seen though from gripes that it is not “exclusive” (you could go in and out of it easily….I'm told they will have stewards manning it for the league games), that the queues for the bar were too long, there was no seating, the self serve machines were not working (I assume they will be for the league game) and that it wasn’t dressed with EFC pics etc. as per the images that sold it.

What were peoples views anyway?

I thought it was a no brainer. The approx £15 per game extra it cost is being given back to you via a £10 credit to use at the bar and a copy of the matchday programme. That’s probably £ I’d have spent anyway but by doing so upfront it gives access to amazing seats.

I’ll judge fully at the Brighton game but perhaps people’s expectations were a little too high for what they’d get in the concourse?

Interested to hear any views on it….
